So this weekend was spent mostly in the car. But between driving to Boise and then over to Oregon and back to Boise and down to Provo we had the delightful opportunity to celebrate Mike's grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary with a family reunion! This was the first time I met most of that side of his family and I was warned ahead of time how crazy they all were...and boy is that true! Highlights of the weekend...running around the house with a balloon up my shirt and a hand on my back like a waddling prego lady, angering a territorial rattle snake, catching some rocks with a fishing pole, and watching a chihuahua try to seduce a dog five times its size.

| I'm on a horse |
It was actually a very fun weekend. The first day we picked blackberries and made cobbler in dutch ovens, watched a movie on a projector at night, and camped next to the horses. Saturday morning the girls had a baby-shower for one of Mike's cousins while the boys picked up rocks in a field. They did a real good job...Mike picked up a hornet nest and one of the other guys broke his finger...can't ever leave those men without female supervision! I learned how to make cool necklaces out of scrabble tiles and scrapbook paper...I went a little overboard and made about six...but they were just so cute!! I also got to ride my first horse! I learned how to steer it and everything! We even trotted! I spent a lot of time with the horses this weekend. We became close friends :). Also that day we took family pictures in our matching t-shirts. Our family had forest green ones. We looked good. Then some yummy steaks and chicken for dinner and another movie on the projector. Sunday we packed up and drove all the way back to Provo. We left oregon around 9:30 and got back to Provo around 10. Too much time in the car!!!! Surprisingly Mike drove the whole way!!! It's a miracle!! Usually I have to drive on long trips! Thanks Mike :)

| look at those perfectly rolled up rolls! |
We let my dear friend April house-sit for us while we were away (and since she is semi-homeless at the moment) and we came home to a clean house and a bag of the most delicious rolls ever! Today I made her teach me how to make them and we have a counter full of beautiful rolls! We had to wear garbage bags for aprons so we didn't flip butter all over ourselves. We also went to the Draper temple today and raced at MarioKart. I love April!!
